To take the force that the ground would exert on the egg upon impact(according to Newton's Third Law)

That title is an actual line from my lab report. If you're writing about eggs, all your sentences will be funny.Now all I need to do is to figure out how to relate all of my posts to eggs.(One down!)
Seen in the subway: Two astonishingly cute little girls in cute school uniforms(more of my opinions  on that probably in my next post) playing with stuffed animals...and making machine gun noises. On the same subway ride, I saw an average guy in a suit talking to his equally average, suited, and male friend. I was trying to do homework, but I heard this phrase clearly:
"And then s/he(I can't remember which) picked up a stick and was like 'WHACK'!(making appropriate gesture)"
I don't know what they were talking about, but that was bloody awesome.
In other news: is Daughters of Eve sexist?
I mean, if it had been written by a man, that wouldn't even be a question for most people: Villainizing radical feminists(and feminists in general)+Anti-abortion, pro-saying a clump of cells that hasn't even truly formed yet is worthy of ruining most of your life prospects(like it did for Anne in the book) +Having in the ending 'Three years later...' bit, everyone be a housewife=Sexist. But, since it was written by a woman, we don't think of it like that. But is there something I'm missing? Please tell.

Cross-Dressing Macbeth

A note to two schools:
1. My middle school: FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS EVIL AND UNHOLY PUT SOME OF THOSE PAD/ TAMPON BOXES IN. For both the sake of those students on their periods and those not, as it is a little sad to see someone clutching a 'wad of toilet paper' to the trash can in semi-view of the hall and full view of everyone else in the bathroom.
2. The Lab School For Collaborative Studies: Get a better principal. Your current one reminds me of Sarah Palin.

IN HALLOWEEN NEWS:
I am torn between going as the space-time witch and going as Lady Macbeth. Melody is going as a Weeping Angel(not the uber-scary Stature of Liberty one in The Angels Take Manhattan, which we saw together on the tour), Momomouse is going as Hello Kitty, and Petronella is going as a zombie, just like every year.  However, I went to the costume store and was filled with rage at how many sexy costumes there were. I was resigned at sexy stewardess, a bit confused at sexy firefighter, confused at sexy caveman, and flabbergasted at(I kid you not)sexy Tin Man. No lie.
Though hanging out with Melody was one of the only good things about the Lab School tour, I also saw this ad:

  
OH. MY. GOD. Is it or is it not the greatest pawn shop ad you have ever seen? You may not be able to see this, but the chameleon's briefcase says 'Mr. Bling.' And he is wearing a tie! Notice that the chameleon's money is chameleon-size, but not the giant ring. And why is he a chameleon? And the caption above says 'Get more Cha-Ching for your Bling Bling'. It is just so surreal(Sorry about the weird formatting.)

Roulette for Infinity


Two things that you didn't know about me:
I know a few Old Norse runes and can draw them on you, including Thuris, Thor's rune.
I am making a Tsubasa-themed mix tape and will, if you ask, give you the list of songs. All I will divulge for now is that it features a lot of Doctor Who themed songs, and the song for Kuronkichi's country is Mockingbird, by Eminem.
I just read Beauty Queens, and I found it excellent. Truly superior. Epic. IT RULED.
I read Tsubasa volume 19 as phase one of Top Secret Project F, and found it epic, but it's gotten very depressing recently. However, it still ruled magnificently.
I'll be going to sleepaway camp soon, so I might not post for a while.
Until then...

The Space-Time Witch Is A Completely Different Thing

There comes a time in every bloggers' life when:
A. They get an amount of viewers that is of a most delightful number. 666 VIEWERS, SO BRING ON THE FOUR HORSEMEN, Y'ALL.
B. They hear a Care Bear book being read aloud and fall over themselves with gleeful mirth. It's so horrible, it's hilarious. Whenever I see my young cousin holding that book, I run into that room so as to overhear(At the moment, I'm in Vermont with my dad's family).
C. They find a book at a community book sale and are struck by its awe-inspiring(if you can call it that, but there is no other word to describe HOW MASSIVE this was) sexism. It was entitled The Alphabet Of Manliness, and it was horrific. There was a ridiculous number of Animorphs books, but nothing decent.
